Hendrix was brilliantly creative, but one album alone wins this poll for The Who. Who's Next. If that were taken out, then Jimi wins hands down.

I wouldn't go quite that far..  it would have been interesting to see who Hendrix worked with in the years to come. Face it.. the Experience was a good backing band for the 'show'. but was already obvious before he left that he wanted upgrades around him. I often thought considering the massive massive MASSIVE influence of Sly Stone on what came musically in the 70's.. I think that is the direction he would have moved in..  hell.. nearly everyone else did.

Yeah, kind of bizarre to compare, particularly since Who's Next (1971) and Quadrophenia (1973) came out after Hendrix died (September 18, 1970).

It should at least be A Quick One (1967), The Who Sell Out (1967) and Tommy (1969) for a more direct reference point to Experience (1967), Axis (1967) and Ladyland (1968). Who knows what Hendrix would have released by the time Quadrophenia came out in 1973.

How about the left string? After all, he was left handed. Wink

Extremely difficult choice

the weaker albums are Tommy and Axis . The only two albums I still listen to are Ladyland and Quadrophenia.

The choice is obvious: just take a look at my profile picture. I'd much rather experience the Jimi Hendrix albums any day of the week and three times on Sunday. Smile

I get more mileage out of the Who than Jimi. It's just that I prefer their songs; this says nothing about the musicianship.

Again 6 masterpieces, all released in Track-label originally (and it´s UK version of Are You Experienced, so no Purple Haze, Hey Joe & the Wind Cries Mary in that). I believe this time Who has more chance to win! I put now Who´s Next, so I have much easier to vote Hendrix this time.
